It hails from the Kanto region, making its debut in Generation I, and is revived from an Old Amber fossil. This ancient Pokémon is often depicted as a dominant aerial hunter from prehistoric times, soaring through skies with its powerful wings and sharp talons. Its diet primarily consisted of smaller Pokémon it could catch in flight. In the games, it's typically a fast and strong attacker, often used for its raw power and speed. In the anime, Aerodactyl is famously known for briefly capturing Ash's Pikachu and for being the Pokémon that presumably scared Ash's Charmeleon into evolving. Its unique method of acquisition through fossil revival adds to its mystique and appeal, representing a tangible link to the Pokémon world's ancient past. Despite its intimidating presence, Aerodactyl is a fan favorite, embodying the thrill of discovery and the raw power of ancient life. Its type combination gives it resistances to Normal, Flying, Poison, Fire, and Bug types, while being weak to Electric, Ice, Rock, and Steel types.
